hydrologist

Agriculturalists rate the impact on primary industries, hydrologists compare ground water levels, and sociologists define it on social expectations and perceptions.

Across the world, farmers are pumping groundwater faster than precipitation can replenish it, causing a steady drop in water tables; a process referred to by hydrologists as ‘groundwater overdrafting’.

As water scarcity spreads, the demand for hydrologists to advise on watershed management, water sources and water efficiency will increase.
